Meat

We understood the importance of carrying antibiotic and hormone free meats before it was widely known, and have sold it this way for three decades. Why? Because it’s the right thing to do. Not only that, but our beef is a higher grade with better marbling, yielding the optimum flavor.

DLM Natural Beef

Our DLM Natural Beef features U.S.D.A Prime & Choice cuts, lifetime free of antibiotics and certified humane. We partner with Niman Ranch for our DLM Natural Beef and do so because we believe their quality of beef is the best. Angus cattle are raised on small family ranches with ample pasture and are fed a 100% vegetarian diet free of antibiotics and hormones. The USDA Choice & Prime designations equate to ultimate flavor and tenderness.

Symmes Creek Ranch

Nestled in Gallia County, Ohio, our Love Local friends at Symmes Creek Ranch are carving a new path in the cattle industry by raising antibiotic free, grass-fed, and grain-finished cattle that is Non-GMO Project verified. The Angus cattle have access to fresh water from Symmes Creek, which borders the ranch.

DLM Local Grass-fed Beef

Our DLM Local Grass-fed Beef Program is possible thanks to Love Local farming families, like the Bensmans, Clarks, and Hannas. All of these families work with us to ensure that the cattle are raised according to our grass-fed beef best practices, meaning they are fed a 100% grass-fed diet and are antibiotic free.

Finding a better bird.

We believe in chicken and turkey that is full of flavor, juicy, free of hormones, and never administered antibiotics. Even more, we believe in carrying poultry from people who we trust, including our local partners Hill Family Farm and Bowman & Landes.

DLM Natural Chicken

What’s so special about DLM Natural Chicken, which we get from our friends at Bell & Evans? It’s much heavier breasted and flavorful. It’s air-chilled, containing less absorbed water than others. The texture is firmer due to the breed of the bird, the room that the birds have to move around in, and the absence of antibiotics in the feed. This air-chilled, antibiotic free, and vegetarian fed chicken is definitely the DLM quality we pride ourselves on providing.

Hill Family Farm Chicken

We’ve partnered with Hill Family Farm for more than 20 years and every day we’re grateful that Dorothy Lane Market is in the small circle that Ed & Joyce Hill provide chickens to, including a pocket of local restaurants. They not only offer local chicken raised in Xenia, Ohio, that are free-roaming and fed a diet free of antibiotics and animal by-products, but the chicken tastes good—rich in flavor and the perfect texture. It’s the kind of chicken you want to have at the table often, but especially when your entire family gathers around. It’s a barnyard, free-roaming chicken that we also know is raised with heart.

DLM Free-Range Turkey

The DLM Free-Range Turkey proudly wears all of the best buzz words: local, vegetarian fed, gluten free, fresh, free range, no antibiotics, and also is Non-GMO Project Verified. Did we mention that it’s delicious, too?

To get the Non-GMO Project Verified certification is an ongoing process of farm audits and farm audits to make sure these special flocks are raised non-GMO. Together with New Carlisle, Ohio-based Bowman & Landes turkey farm, we are thrilled to feature a turkey we are proud to have on our table.

Your family gathering will be amiss without this centerpiece dish.

Meat that’s Honestly Better®.

No matter who we partner with all different meats you find at in Dorothy Lane Market’s Meat department, we do so because we believe it to be Honestly Better®, meaning no hormones nor antibiotics. This is something we’ve believed in long before it was the popular thing to do. We did so because it was the right thing to do. See below for other meat items we carry at DLM in addition to chicken and turkey, beef, and our famed Heavenly Ham®.

duBreton Natural Pork & Heritage Berkshire Pork

At Dorothy Lane Market, we believe in offering you products that are Honestly Better® and that’s why we use duBreton Natural Pork. DuBreton, our Canadian supplier of top-quality natural pork, raises their hogs on family farms where they live and grow with access to plenty of fresh air, fresh water, and sunshine. Their animals are fed 100% vegetarian feed and are given no antibiotics or growth stimulants, ever. Certain cuts are available USDA Organic. In addition, we also carry Heritage Berkshire pork. The Berkshire breed or “black pig” is the Rolls-Royce of hogs. This breed has been around for nearly four centuries and is known for its intense tenderness and juiciness, thanks to the beautiful marbling.

DLM Natural Lamb & Local Loramie Lamb

At Dorothy Lane Market, we offer our very own line of DLM Natural Lamb that’s antibiotic and hormone free in addition to partnering with local veterinarian Paul Hunter at Loramie Lamb, based in Fort Loramie, Ohio.

Vista Grand Ranch Bison

As you make your way down the winding driveway leading to Vista Grand Ranch, located in Clermont County, you feel like you are transported out West. Vista Grand Ranch American Buffalo are never grain-fed or administered antibiotics and hormones. This isn’t always the case in the buffalo industry at large, which has followed in the footprints of the cattle industry with so many grain-finishing the animals and adding hormones to increase their mass.

Seasoned and Prepared Italian Meats

We’ve traveled to Italy to master the craft of creating seasoned and ready-to-cook Italian specialties, such as Pollo Ripieno, which is a whole, semi-boneless chicken stuffed with our housemade Italian sausage and wrapped with pancetta and fresh rosemary. We also feature these other Italian delights: Artista Pronto da Cuocere, Coniglio Ripieno, Pollo Ripieno, Fagottini di Pollo, Italian Meatballs, Monastici, and Petto di Tacchino.
